Hi. I'm afraid I'm not really interested in an interview (parents were journalists, made me promise never to get into the business ;). I would be very interested in seeing the finished piece though. Drop me a line with a (non-reg-req!) link when it's out. Thanks :)

Standard {{welcome}} template above. Let me know if I can help with anything non-logo/article related. --Quiddity 00:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've already responded to you via email. east.718 at 00:37, January 12, 2008

Good job on writing the referenced stub Galen Cranz. I always encourage new users to Be Bold and do the best they can making Wikipedia a better place, and you did just that! Congratulations, and if you ever need any help, feel free to leave me a message here or on my talk page, Sadads (talk) 19:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page says, "This is Noam's user page on Wikipedia." and according to the edit history has since December 2007. Wikipedia's username policy states in part: "Do not register a username that includes the name of an identifiable living person unless it is your real name. This includes implying a relationship with another person. If you share a name with a well-known person, you need to make it clear that you are not the well-known person of that name." The combination of the assertion on your user page and your username seem to imply you might be the well-known person Noam Chomsky. Could you please disclose your relationship to that well-known person, if any? Gacurr (talk) 02:37, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No connection to Professor Chomsky. I am Noam Cohen, see: http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/c/noam_cohen/index.html. Sorry for the confusion. chomsky1 (talk) 00:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, chomsky1. You might want to add something to your user page to let others who come there first know you are a different Noam. Gacurr (talk) 00:47, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Although I'm flattered by the request, I don't communicate with Wikipedia people by e-mail or phone. If you can come on IRC, perhaps we can talk a bit. DS (talk) 00:04, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, I meant Internet Relay Chat, a real-time chat protocol. Most Wikipedia chatter is done on the Freenode network. If you'd like to set up an appointment...? DS (talk) 18:08, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer, but I think I will pass. Arzel (talk) 18:57, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lynn Townsend White, Jr., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page AAAS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Chomsky1. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Rick Lowe, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Rick Lowe to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
4. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

1. Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
2. Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
3. Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, for reasons which I am unable to expand on, I decline to participate. I wish you good luck with the piece. Regards, El_C 01:53, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Noam, I'm writing to invite you to be a source for a service piece I'm writing about Wikipedia for Journalists for Data Journalism. Given your history as a journalist covering the Wikimedia community, I'd be keen to feature your expertise. Feel free to ping me on Talk or email if you are interested and able.

The article Bill Glass (actor) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While he is a working actor, other than the Progressive commercials (one of which was just on with him trying to coach someone to ride an elevator), not enough in-depth coverage to pass GNG, and does not meet NACTOR.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
